Depends upon your diet. If your meal is porkchops, green beans, salad and perhaps a canned fruit I don’t know that gluten would be in any of that.

Any breads or pastas would be more suspect, and of course, we all eat bread every day.

But a dog eats the exact same kibbles every day.

I know what you mean. The problem is gluten is in more products then most people know. Cereals, grain products, pastries, processed foods, etc. Even many vitamin capsules are made of gluten.

It is also listed under various names like 'Grain Byproducts' or 'Wheat Byproducts'.

Just like MSG, just like sugar, just like trans-fats, they attempt to hide them under various names. Those of us lucky enough not to eat processed foods, sugars, etc., are still in the minority in this country.

Even if the contaminated gluten has not made it into the human food chain, this episode has shown us just how easily one mistake (or one terrorist act) can affect thousands, perhaps millions.
